Much ado about nothing or a waltz through protocol? The Taoiseach and his northern trip - former DUP MLA Nelson McCausland and @IRLPatricia debate

The NIO has insisted that Leo Varadkar's visit to Counties Armagh and Down on Monday followed "all protocol". The clarification came after DUP MP Sir Jeffrey Donaldson said Leo Varadkar's visit was "outside of normal protocol" and it showed "poor manners". The UK government was informed of the visit on Sunday. But the NIO say they did not tell local MPs - they are the DUP's David Simpson and Sinn Fein's Chris Hazzard. But should the NIO have told our local representatives? Vinny got the views of commentator Patricia MacBride and former DUP MLA Nelson McCausland
